EAAntiCheat crashes BF2042 ALL THE **bleep** TIME!
I ran the mini crash dump in WinDbg;
🔍 Crash Summary
Detail | Value |
---|---|
Exception Code | c0000005 (Access Violation) |
Faulting Address | 0000000000000000 (Null pointer dereference) |
Instruction Pointer (RIP) | BF2042!GetDenuvoTimeTicketRequest+0x6a9845 |
Read Address | rdx = 0x0 → mov rax, [rdx] |
Module | BF2042.exe |
Symbol Name | memory_corruption!BF2042 |
Verifier | APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOADED: 1 |
CHKIMG Errors | 256 errors in Frostbite image region |
per CoPilot:
🧠 What This Means
- The crash occurred while trying to read from a null pointer (rdx = 0x0), which is a textbook dereference failure.
- The function GetDenuvoTimeTicketRequest is likely part of the anti-tamper or DRM handshake—Denuvo’s time ticket system validates runtime integrity.
- The CHKIMG_EXTENSION shows 256 image corruption errors in the Frostbite module, which suggests memory corruption or tampering—either from a mod, overlay, or a failed integrity check.
- APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOADED means Windows was actively monitoring for heap and handle violations—this crash might’ve been caught mid-corruption.
🔧 Likely Causes
1. Anti-Cheat or DRM Conflict
- Denuvo handshake failed due to a null pointer.
- Could be triggered by:
- G Hub overlays (you’ve already isolated this before)
- Macro injection or input emulation
- Background apps that hook into BF2042
2. Memory Corruption
- The memory_corruption!BF2042 symbol and CHKIMG errors suggest the executable image was altered or corrupted in memory.
- Could be:
- Faulty RAM (less likely if other apps are stable)
- GPU driver instability
- Overlays or mods interfering with Frostbite’s memory space
3. Race Condition or Uninitialized Pointer
- The null rdx might be a race condition—pointer not initialized before access.
- Could be tied to timing issues, especially if BF2042 was under load or alt-tabbed.

Guys, before I start playing, I turn off GHub, revalidate steam files & repair the game through EAAnticheat hoping the **bleep** game won't crash because IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PLAY.
I sincerely hope you guys fix this problem when BF6 releases.
